Math worksheet for calculating angles in trapezoids.

Let’s solve each problem step by step.

---

Part A: Find the measure of the indicated angle in each trapezoid.

Remember: In a trapezoid, if it has two parallel sides (bases), then consecutive angles between the bases are supplementary — they add up to 180°. Also, the sum of all interior angles in any quadrilateral is always 360°.

A1) Trapezoid with angles: 98°, ?, and two right angles? Wait — looking at the diagram description (even though we can’t see it, from standard problems):

Actually, let’s assume based on common textbook problems:

In A1: It's likely an isosceles or regular trapezoid with one base angle given as 98°, and we’re to find the adjacent angle on the same leg.

But wait — if it’s a trapezoid with two parallel sides, and one angle is 98°, and the next angle along the same non-parallel side is what we’re solving for — but actually, in many such diagrams, if one base angle is 98°, and the other base angle on the same base is also 98° (if isosceles), but here it says “indicated angle” — probably the adjacent angle on the same leg.

Wait — better approach: Let’s use the fact that consecutive angles between the parallel sides are supplementary.

Assume in A1: The trapezoid has top and bottom bases parallel. One bottom-left angle is 98°. Then the top-left angle (adjacent along the left leg) should be 180° - 98° = 82°, because they are consecutive interior angles between parallel lines.

So m∠M = 82°

✔ Check: 98 + 82 = 180 → correct for consecutive angles between parallels.

---

A2) Angle given: 54°, find ∠N.

Again, assuming this is a trapezoid with parallel bases. If 54° is a base angle, then the adjacent angle on the same leg (top or bottom) would be 180° - 54° = 126°.

If ∠N is the angle adjacent to the 54° angle along the same leg, then m∠N = 126°.

✔ Makes sense.

---

A3) Right trapezoid? Angles shown: 117°, and two right angles? Probably.

Sum of interior angles = 360°.

If three angles are known: say 90°, 90°, and 117°, then fourth angle y = 360 - 90 - 90 - 117 = 63°.

So m∠Y = 63°

✔ 90+90+117+63=360 → correct.

Part B: More trapezoids

B4) Diagram shows: left side vertical? Angles: 90°, 55°, and we need ∠V and ∠Z.

Assuming it’s a right trapezoid with two right angles? Or maybe not.

Wait — if one angle is 90°, another is 55°, and it’s a trapezoid with parallel bases.

Suppose the 55° and V are on the same leg — then they are supplementary? Not necessarily unless the legs are transversals.

Better: Use total sum = 360°.

Assume the trapezoid has angles: 90° (bottom left), 55° (top left), then ∠V (top right), ∠Z (bottom right).

If the top and bottom are parallel, then:

Left side: 90° and 55° — these are NOT consecutive between parallels? Actually, if the left side is perpendicular to the bases, then both left angles are 90° — contradiction.

Alternative interpretation: Maybe the 55° is at the top left, and the bottom left is 90°, meaning the left leg is not perpendicular — so only one right angle.

Then angles: let’s label them:

Bottom left: 90°
Top left: 55°
Top right: ∠V
Bottom right: ∠Z

Since top and bottom are parallel, the consecutive angles on each leg should be supplementary.

So on the left leg: 90° + 55° = 145° — not 180 → so that can’t be.

Wait — perhaps the 55° is at the top right? Let me rethink.

Standard problem: In trapezoid UVWZ, with UV parallel to WZ.

Angle at U = 90°, angle at V = 55°, find ∠V and ∠Z? That doesn't make sense.

Perhaps the diagram shows:

At vertex U: 90°
At vertex V: ?
At vertex W: 55°
At vertex Z: ?

And UV || WZ.

Then, since UV || WZ, then angle U + angle Z = 180° (consecutive interior angles)

So 90° + ∠Z = 180° → ∠Z = 90°

Similarly, angle V + angle W = 180° → ∠V + 55° = 180° → ∠V = 125°

That makes sense.

So m∠V = 125°, m∠Z = 90°

✔ Sum: 90 + 125 + 55 + 90 = 360 → correct.

B5) Trapezoid with angles: 115°, 58°, find ∠S and ∠R.

Assume SR and QT are bases? Or whatever labeling.

Total sum = 360°.

Given two angles: 115° and 58°. Need two more.

But which ones are adjacent?

Assume the trapezoid has parallel sides, so consecutive angles between them are supplementary.

Suppose 115° and ∠S are on the same leg → then ∠S = 180 - 115 = 65°

Similarly, 58° and ∠R are on the same leg → ∠R = 180 - 58 = 122°

Check sum: 115 + 65 + 58 + 122 = 360 → yes!

So m∠S = 65°, m∠R = 122°

---

B6) Trapezoid with angles: 104°, 73°, find ∠D and ∠E.

Same logic.

Assume 104° and ∠D are consecutive on one leg → ∠D = 180 - 104 = 76°

73° and ∠E are consecutive on other leg → ∠E = 180 - 73 = 107°

Sum: 104 + 76 + 73 + 107 = 360 → perfect.

So m∠D = 76°, m∠E = 107°

---

Part C: KLMN is a right trapezoid. Find m∠N.

Right trapezoid means it has two right angles.

Diagram probably shows: angle at L = 90°, angle at M = 90°, angle at K = 115°, find N.

Sum = 360°

So ∠N = 360 - 90 - 90 - 115 = 65°

✔ Correct.

---

Part D: Determine m∠D and m∠C if BCDE is an isosceles trapezoid.

Isosceles trapezoid: base angles are equal. Non-parallel sides equal. Base angles congruent.

Diagram: angle at E = 125°, angle at B = 55°? Wait — probably labeled differently.

Typical setup: BCDE, with BC and DE as bases? Or BE and CD?

Assume BC and DE are the two bases (parallel). Then angles at B and C are base angles on one base, angles at D and E on the other.

In isosceles trapezoid, base angles are equal: so ∠B = ∠C, and ∠D = ∠E.

But diagram shows: angle at E = 125°, angle at B = 55°? That can’t be if they are base angles.

Wait — perhaps angle at E is 125°, and since it’s isosceles, angle at D is also 125°? But then sum would be too big.

No — in isosceles trapezoid, each pair of base angles are equal, and consecutive angles between bases are supplementary.

So if angle at E is 125°, then the adjacent angle on the same leg (say angle at D) is not necessarily equal — wait no.

Standard: In isosceles trapezoid ABCD with AB || CD, then ∠A = ∠B, and ∠C = ∠D, and ∠A + ∠D = 180°, etc.

So for BCDE, assume BC || DE.

Then angles at B and C are on the top base, angles at D and E on the bottom.

Then ∠B = ∠C, and ∠D = ∠E.

Also, ∠B + ∠E = 180° (since consecutive between parallels)

Given: angle at E = 125° → then ∠B = 180 - 125 = 55°

Since isosceles, ∠C = ∠B = 55°

And D = ∠E = 125°

But the question asks for m∠D and m∠C.

So m∠D = 125°, m∠C = 55°

Check sum: 55 + 55 + 125 + 125 = 360 → correct.

Perfect.
